Using sql query on ssis server sql job using powershell - sql

Question

I want to invoke a sql query/SP on sql job in a ssis server using a powershell script but I don't know how to do that. I've used powershell to run sql queries on sql database but not jobs on ssis. Here is what I have till now-
$ssisServer = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SQLServer.Management.Smo.Server($name_of_server)
$IntegrationServices = New-Object "Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices.IntegrationServices" $ssisServer
$catalog = $IntegrationServices.Catalogs[$catalog]
$folder = $catalog.Folders[$folder]
$project = $folder.Projects[$project]
$sqlJob = $ssisServer.JobServer.Jobs[$existing_job_name]
query= " some sql query "
if ($sqlJob) {
$sqlJob.CurrentRunStatus()
# here I need to run a query on the job
}
The query could be to get details of the job or perform some action on it. Also is this enough as we are just giving the server name here $sqlJob = $ssisServer.JobServer.Jobs[$existing_job_name] to get the job which in a particular folder->project->job? I couldn't try this yet and haven't found much resources on it. Please give me some help to work with.

Answer 1

I didn't work with the SSIS server. But the principle of running SQL queries from SQL is pretty simple.
You should have proper module or you can use snapin of SQL.
I will continue from the second one.
# If you have an SQL server on your server, so this is the possible path where they can be.
$PossiblePaths = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server','C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server'
# Lets check where we have PSProvider.dll and PSSnapins.dll
$PossiblePaths | ForEach-Object {
Test-Path -Path $_
{
$SQLPSProvider = (Get-ChildItem -Filter "Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.PSProvider.dll" -Path $_ -Recurse).FullName
$SQLPSSnapIn = (Get-ChildItem -Filter "Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.PSSnapins.dll" -Path $_ -Recurse).FullName
}
}
# Lets find Install Utility to add them with it.
$InstallUtil = (Get-ChildItem -Filter "InstallUtil.exe" -Path "$env:windir\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0*" -Recurse).FullName
if (($null -eq $SQLPSProvider) -or ($null -eq $SQLPSSnapIn))
{
Write-Host "Sorry, SQL PowerShell SnapIn or PowerShell Provider not found." -ForegroundColor Red
}
else
{
# Adding them to our system.
Start-Process -FilePath $InstallUtil -ArgumentList "-i $SQLPSProvider"
Start-Process -FilePath $InstallUtil -ArgumentList "-i $SQLPSSnapIn"
}
# Now they should be in the system and we can add them to our PowerShell session.
Add-PSSnapin -Name SqlServerCmdletSnapin100
Add-PSSnapin -Name SqlServerProviderSnapin100
# Now we should have Invoke-Sqlcmd like if we had SQLServer module.
$SQLServer = "SQL2012"
$SQLInstance = "JustForExample"
$ServerInstance = $SQLServer + '\' + $SQLInstance
# So you typing query for example like attaching DB.
$Query = "CREATE DATABASE ExamleDB ON (FILENAME = `'C:\DBs\ExamleDB.mdf`'), (FILENAME = `'C:\DBs\ExamleDB_log.ldf`') FOR ATTACH"
# And then executing it with Invoke-Sqlcmd like that.
Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance $ServerInstance -Username 'sa' -Password 'Abcde12345' -Query "Query"
